Figure 1. Frost effects on corn in Dakota County following a September 13th early morning frost indicating increased upper
canopy damage in lower elevations of the field.

Many corn and soybean fields in central, west central, and southwest
Minnesota were affected by frost during the morning hours of September
13, 2014. As is always the case, the frost damage appears to be highly
variable based on local climate conditions, crop maturity, and
topographical features.
